These soldiers were large warriors that wore a specialized type of stormtrooper armor and were trained for frontline combat against incredibly powerful enemies such as Wookiees, Trandoshans, and other large aliens.

They were rare but were almost always found at the front of a vanguard where they provided protection for standard stormtroopers and other ranged weapon specialists.

Due to their role in melee based combat, these troopers made use of large electro staffs against their enemies. The weapons allowed them to stun their foes with medium-range electrical arcs, and were quite capable of killing even a Force user in close combat.

Their armor provided them a limited level of protection against a lightsaber. Their armor resembled that of the Phase II clone trooper armor, albeit slightly darker in color. Most heavy troopers were also issued backpacks.
